An early interest in the digital transformation.
++ ICOM has long engaged with the digital transition and the + transformation of information and communication technologies. As + early as 1981, the organisation created its first computerised + bibliographic database, demonstrating an early awareness of the + potential of digital tools for documentation and knowledge + sharing. In the 1990s, these questions gained further prominence, + notably with the publication of an issue of Museum International + entitled Museums and the Internet (1999), reflecting growing + interest among museum professionals in the web as a new space for + communication and access. +
++ During this period, several digital platforms were progressively + launched, including the general COM website, the International + Observatory on Illicit Traffic in Cultural Goods, and standardised + websites for every International or national committees and + regional alliances, contributing to more structured and visible + international networks. +
